Hello all
I have a ongoing case that will be ending soon.
I injured both legs in a accident 3 years ago. When I received my first MMI both legs were at 30% and no work restrictions after I was released I had to have surgery again and fast forward to Jan I was released again by the doctor with 30% in my left leg and 50% on my right leg. I have permanment restrictions I cannot lift over 30 pounds and i cant walk up and down stairs. I have worked in a warehouse all my life now i cannot do that type of work. My lawyer said due to South Carolina workers comp laws that my settlement amount wont change. My question is should have the settlement amount changed since the new restrictions and new percentages to my legs or should i fire my lawyer and find a new lawyer or is it to late?
